Questions and Comments

11:30am-1:00pm  LUNCH

When everyone returns from lunch we will work on running through training exercises.

Practice opportunities for IFQ and groundfish reporting - please bring a laptop if you would like to take part in hands on training exercises.

Elaine Brewer and Johnathan Fultz will provide tLandings for Salmon and Groundfish Training - please bring a laptop or tablet if you would like to take part in hands on training exercises.  ADF&G will offer a WebEx for this portion of the training only.  If you would like to attend via WebEx, please email elaine.brewer@alaska.gov before 4:30 pm on Friday April 12, 2019.  Elaine will email a link to join the training directly to those who RSVP to the WebEx.

We have many experienced PTI/tLandings users and many completely new users.  We will try to address the needs of both groups by covering topics of interest to both groups first and then focus on topics specific to new users. Experienced users may find it helpful to stick around for these topics as a refresher.

We have more material to cover than we have time, so we encourage all attendees to go thru the PTI/tLandings training scenarios and how to videos. We need your active participation and questions to ensure we are addressing your needs and concerns.
